Wander through a glowing tunnel of light and feel the magic of winter come alive!
Step inside Winter Light Cathedral - a dazzling, walk-through experience made from tens of thousands of tiny LED lights. Inspired by the sweeping arches of grand church windows, this luminous tunnel invites you in for a moment of warmth, wonder and a little bit of WOW.
From the outside, it shines like a beacon in Aotea Square. Inside, it's something else entirely - a sparkling, cosy world where every step surrounds you in soft, golden light.
Subtle by day and radiant after dark, whether you're out for a family night or date night this is a joyful experience not to miss.
Walk it once, snap a pic, tag us @aucklandlive, then go again (you'll want to).
Hot tip: Visit on a Friday or Saturday night, between 6pm and 9pm, to watch neon-lit dancers bringing an extra touch of magic to the Cathedral.
Free entry, just turn up and step into the magic. Open 24/7 (best to visit after dark).
